Daniel Agger has stated that he wants to stay at Liverpool, despite interest from Manchester City.
The Denmark international has been linked with a move to the Premier League champions, and Brendan Rodgers has confessed that the Etihad Stadium team have made contact.
With reports of a bid in the region of £20 million for the Scandinavian a move was touted, but Agger has stated that he wants to stay at Anfield.
“I’d rather stay,” the centre half told The Guardian.
“I can’t imagine playing for any other club in England but you never know if the club think it’s better to sell me.
“I know there has been interest from Manchester City, but I don’t know what Liverpool are responding to it. I am fine with my situation. The club will have to find out what they want to do. I’ve heard nothing from them. I’d rather stay but that decision is not up to me at the moment.
“Yes, Liverpool can do a deal even though I have two years on my contract. But no, I haven’t changed my mind on the subject. Some times you can end up in a position where it’s not your decision.
“I don’t want to be somewhere I am not wanted but I would prefer if they want me to stay. That is my first priority,” he concluded.
